#JOTW Victor Canera Art Deco Pink Spinel ring

[Lovinggems]

I just want to share a few photos of my new ring with everyone.
I had wanted to set my spinel in an Art Deco style setting like this blue sapphire but the stone was not long enough to fit this style. Fast forward a few years I saw this gorgeous Art Deco trilogy baguette ring on Victor's site, I emailed for a quote and a couple of months later viola! I am finally wearing my Mahenge spinel!

Paige is just wonderful, she does a lot of the organisation and communication at VC, she is friendly, professional and very organised.

Victor's workmanship is excellent, he was able to expertly proportioned the side stones to fit my smaller stone, the prongs and bezel are delicate, not bulky. The lines are clean and elegant. I really enjoy wearing it and staring at it.

The original ring belongs to another PS'er, set with a gorgeous 2.8 carat antique emerald. My stone is smaller at near 2 carats but Victor was able to make it work with the smaller coloured stone.

What a beautiful ring! Wow, the color of that spinel is just gorgeous!

I would love to see more photos of your ring including some outside shots also.

 

[Lovinggems]

Thank you Crystal24K! I will take some more daylight photos. Getting lazy these days and took these in the wardrobe.

Love it! I love how the diamonds are outlined so nicely. Beautiful color!

 

[Acinom]

Wow, I admired this ring many many times on Victor's FB! As always I was hoping that it would pop up here and again it seems to be true that the most stunning rings are owned by PSers. What a beautiful and flowing design. It looks great on your hand; it seems to wrap around your finger. Your stone is amazing!!! Who is the vendor?

I second the request for a lot more photo's!!!
And please post the ring in the Victor Canera thread as well.

[Lovinggems]

Thank you tyty333, Acinom, junebug17 and Diamondbug for your kind words.
I will take out my camera and take more photos on the weekend, hope I have a nice one for the VC thread.

Acinom the stone was purchased from Swala Gem traders, they are based in Tanzania, they were selling a lot of Mahenge spinels a few years ago but nowadays it seems like supply is limited, I am sad that I didn't get more before.
